^np. I think your SF situation isnt bad but you do need a good SG. (PS. I sent you one last offer, atleast for now)

anyone else want their team ranked. Im only available for a bit though.

Does the name Joe Johnson ring a bell?

i meant backup sg . lol

Denver Nuggets

Head Coach: Rick Adelman

PG: Derrick Rose/Delonte West
SG: Mickeal Pietrus/Reggie Williams
SF: Wesley Johnson/Richard Jefferson
PF: Zach Randolph/
C: Greg Oden/Marcin Gortat

Honest opinions on my team please? I Am Ra, can you rate my team on a grading scale/30?

Haha. I just realized that Zbo is my oldest player at 29. All of my players are pretty young, but most of them played in big playoff games. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! We should be able to win right now, but if not, the future still looks bright for a potential dynasty.

[I am Ra]

Did you rank my team yet? If not, then go for it...

C: Marcus Camby/Darko Milicic
PF: David Lee/Chuck Hayes
SF: Charlie V/Sam Young
SG: John Samlons/Josh Howard
PG: Baron Davis/Luke Ridnour

Win Now: 6/10

I dont like the fits at all (other than Camby/Lee). I think you have a fringe playoff team. Charlie V at SF is only going to get you burned. Camby is pretty old now and Im not sold on the bench. Salmons/Davis combo is a good scoring combo but also a low efficient one. I dont like the team at all to be honest.

Future: 2/10

Sam Young is your only young piece. I dont see any future brightspot here.

Cap Space: 2/10

Took a lot of big contracts.

10/30 = 33% Sorry

Win Now: 7/10

Playoff team. Not a great team, but a pretty good one. Wont get far in the playoffs. No great facilitator. Good wing players and good backup point. Good fits in play.

Future: 9/10

Have a lot of young players. Going to have a good future.

Cap Management: 7/10

Took on Rashard but no other bad contracts.

23/30 = 77%

Win now: 9/10

I love the fits with shooters and the bench is a pretty good one. I think you need a more reliable backup point/shooting guard. Good bigs. Rose can lead this team pretty far. Good fits

Future: 8/10

2 most solid positions are taken care for. Also have some young pieces elsewhere.

Cap Management: 7/10

Took one one bad contract in RJ.

24/30 = 80%

[I am Ra]

I gtg now.

Also LeBron2NY2010 you do know Udoh is out for like 6 months right? Also they have about the same value.

I wasn't sure if we were taking current injuries in regard as some players with worse injuries were taken, he will be back in November/December while Kenyon Martin is out the whole year and Yao may retire

Thanks. Though I'm not a fan of Richard Jefferson's contract, I think he was the best backup small forward available, especially after Grant Hill was taken right before me. I also like that Zach Randolph is a 20/10 guy with a huge expiring contract. It means he will most likely have his best year, be a very valuable trade asset or can just be a 17 million dollar expiring. Thanks for your opinion though. I knew Jefferson was going to be mentioned. Haha. 24/30 isn't bad though.

Do you really think Ctorres has a better future than mine's though? I was kind of expecting a 10 for "future". Haha.

[H20KilledHeat]

I'm shopping my skipped pick for a SF.

Kenyon Martin is questionable for the beginning of training camp. Why do you think he is out for the year?

Also, the San Antonio Spurs are live from Puerto Rico and I do have wifi in my room. Won't be around much during the day, but will make my picks as close as possible.

[moocow007]

Well draft is definitely moving faster.

Well I already said I was going for a win now mentality during this Build a team. Weather I succeeded remains to be seen...

[moocow007]

For anyone not sure if they guy they want to pick have already been picked, here's the link with all the players and head coaches that have already been picked. It's also stickied.

There may be some spelling mistakes (especially with commonly misspelled names) so do yourself a favor and double check.
